Welcome to ‘Homefield House’ – a rare opportunity to own one of the first houses built in Swaisland Road, West Dartford. Dating back to 1934 and modelled on the larger homes of Sidcup, this individually designed, detached four-bedroom property combines the enduring quality of its period construction with thoughtful modern updates. Set within grounds of around two-thirds of an acre, this is a home that offers both character and versatility.

Built from exceptionally hard-wearing London brick, the property boasts solid oak floors, banisters, window sills, panelling and fireplace surrounds. The roof was completely re-tiled in 2020 with tiles identical to the originals, alongside powder-coated aluminium gutters matching the original profile. That same year, bespoke double-glazed windows in powder-coated aluminium were fitted, replicating the appearance of the original wooden sash frames while offering long-term low maintenance.

Inside, the generous hallway and striking feature staircase set the tone for the spacious layout. The beautifully designed kitchen and reception rooms are ideal for both family living and entertaining, while upstairs there are four double bedrooms (all with fitted wardrobes), a family bathroom and a separate WC. Above the garage is a self-contained room with plumbing and electricity, offering potential as a fifth bedroom, home office or studio.

Within the grounds, a 68 sq m annex with mains services provides highly flexible space, whether for multi-generational living, a home business or leisure use. The landscaped gardens are arranged into distinct areas: a gravelled driveway and frontage, top lawns with a circular ‘Breeze House’ summerhouse (complete with lighting and fridge) and fountain, a lower lawn bordered by flower beds, and a wild garden/orchard with a wildlife pond, pollinator-friendly planting, and a selection of fruit trees. A brick path leads to the annex, passing Kentish Cob nut trees, a bicycle shed, and two large garden sheds.

The location is equally impressive — within walking distance of Dartford Grammar Schools for boys and girls, as well as other highly regarded secondary and primary schools. Both Dartford and Crayford stations are in the Oyster Card zone, with quick rail connections into London, and the M25, A2 and Dartford Crossing are just a couple of miles away. Dartford and Crayford town centres are within a mile, with Bluewater shopping centre approximately five miles distant.
